Merino Kids Sleep Sack, a ReviewMARTIN FAMILY MOMENTS - February 23, 2015 ... covered by organic cotton. Raise the roof for luxurious comfort!! I know, I couldn't believe how soft and comfy it felt either! But what happens when you want to transport me straight to the carseat from the crib? Another good question from my genious 10 month old.

The Annual Sports Illustrated Porn IssueA FOLLOWER OF FRANCIS - February 19, 2015 The annual Sports Illustrated Swimsuit - soft-core porn - issue is out. This one is particularly offensive because of the cover photo. The young woman, who in interviews has revealed herself to be particularly clueless, is pulling down her two-piece suit bottom to reveal part of her lower anatomy that would have been banned on prime-time television back in the days when there were standards on prime-time television. It is pretty immodest. She is exposing a portion of a part ...http://paxchristirochester.blogspot.com/2015/02/the-annual-sports-illustrated-porn-issue.html

The Voice of Dreher and His CommentersEST QUOD EST - February 17, 2015 ... receiving back insults not unlike "If we speak of poisoned tongues what shall we say of yours, young serpent?" which was Saruman's retort to Prince Eomer. (Except we were called incredible fools and nematodes rather than "young serpents".) And, as always, we continue to receive the epitaph "obsessed" from people who show up over and over again to elaborate on their fierce agreement with Dreher's designer brand of paleoconservatism. And ever they heard that soft voice ...http://contrapauli.blogspot.com/2015/02/the-voice-of-dreher-and-his-commenters.html

This Is Real LifeKATHLEEN M. BASI - February 6, 2015 ... by crabapple blossoms in a soft white blur . So today, in the interest of balance, I present: The Other Side of My Life. Judging by the overturned furniture and general level of destruction, the Avengers have been in my basement. Thor's hammer is just the last piece of evidence. Wait a minute! THERE'S that school library book that's almost a week overdue! I had to take a picture to find it. Michael was SO determined to cross days off the Disney calendar, which hung ...http://kathleenbasi.com/2015/02/06/this-is-real-life/

A Slouchy, Daisy Stitch HatHOMESPUN LIVING - January 30, 2015 After Christmas I decided to knit myself a hat--it's one of the hand knits that I don't have many of, and this being an extremely cold winter of daily dog-walking, a really warm hat is most welcome. I had taken advantage of the Knit Picks sale and bought some Andean Treasure Baby Alpaca in several colors. The hat is the Hinagiku Hat by 87cafe, and it is done in a daisy stitch which I love. The yarn is wonderfully soft...more details can be found on my Ravelry page here .http://homespunliving.blogspot.com/2015/01/a-slouchy-daisy-stitch-hat.html
